Facts Friday (On A Wednesday): Have You Hear Of Exercise Snacking?
Have you heard of "exercise snacking"?
It is when you break down your workouts into digestible snacks as opposed to hour long meals.
Let's take this workout for example:
45min at home workout
A1) Bodyweight squat, 4x12
A2) Banded push up, 4x15-20
B1) Bodyweight spilt squat, 4x10 per leg
B2) Hindu push up, 4x6-8
C1) Bodyweight calf raise (on step), 4x15-20
C2) Elevated leg crunch, 4x10-12
Instead of banging this out in the garage in 45mins after work, you could break it up into 3 x 15min supersets.
It could look like this:
15min superset (before breakfast at 8am)
A1) Bodyweight squat, 4x12
A2) Banded push up, 4x15-20
15min superset (before lunch at 12pm)
B1) Bodyweight spilt squat, 4x10 per leg
B2) Hindu push up, 4x6-8
15min superset (before dinner at 6pm)
C1) Bodyweight calf raise (on step), 4x15-20
C2) Elevated leg crunch, 4x10-12
Before you tell me this is bullsh*t, let me explain:
- this is not an 'optimal' way to train
- this does allow certain populations such as elderly people who no longer work and stay at home mothers that care for children to get their workouts in
- this is better than missing a workout
Am I ever going to do "exercise snacking"?
Not if I don't have to but these emails aren't for me, they're for you and I hope that this gives you more options to workout instead of missing a workout becuase you have no other options.
This is more of a last resort than a first option.
